Clean up.
The trend in the other XDR encoder functions is to BUG() when encoding
problems occur, since a problem here is always due to a local coding
error. Then, instead of a status, zero is unconditionally returned.
Update the NSM XDR encoders to behave this way.
To finish the update, use the new-style be32_to_cpup() and
cpu_to_be32() macros, and compute the buffer sizes using raw integers
instead of sizeof(). This matches the conventions used in other XDR
functions

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

When lockd gets a notify downcall from statd, it'll search its hosts
cache and then clear the sm_monitored bit on the host it finds. The idea
is apparently to make lockd redo a SM_MON on the next lock request.
This is unnecessary and causes the kernel's NSM cache to go out of sync
with statd. statd doesn't stop monitoring a host when it gets a
SM_NOTIFY and there's no guarantee that another lock will occur after
the reclaim and before the unmount. In that event, no SM_UNMON will
occur.

When rpc.statd starts up in user space at boot time, it attempts to
write the latest NSM local state number into
/proc/sys/fs/nfs/nsm_local_state.
If lockd.ko isn't loaded yet (as is the case in most configurations),
that file doesn't exist, thus the kernel's NSM state remains set to
its initial value of zero during lockd operation.
This is a problem because rpc.statd and lockd use the NSM state number
to prevent repeated lock recovery on rebooted hosts. If lockd sends
a zero NSM state, but then a delayed SM_NOTIFY with a real NSM state
number is received, there is no way for lockd or rpc.statd to
distinguish that stale SM_NOTIFY from an actual reboot. Thus lock
recovery could be performed after the rebooted host has already
started reclaiming locks, and those locks will be lost.
We could change /etc/init.d/nfslock so it always modprobes lockd.ko
before starting rpc.statd. However, if lockd.ko is ever unloaded
and reloaded, we are back at square one, since the NSM state is not
preserved across an unload/reload cycle. This may happen frequently
on clients that use automounter. A period of NFS inactivity causes
lockd.ko to be unloaded, and the kernel loses its NSM state setting.
Instead, let's use the fact that rpc.statd plants the local system's
NSM state in every SM_MON (and SM_UNMON) reply. lockd performs a
synchronous SM_MON upcall to the local rpc.statd _before_ sending its
first NLM request to a new remote. This would permit rpc.statd to
provide the current NSM state to lockd, even after lockd.ko had been
unloaded and reloaded.
Note that NLMPROC_LOCK arguments are constructed before the
nsm_monitor() call, so we have to rearrange argument construction very
slightly to make this all work out.
And, the kernel appears to treat NSM state as a u32 (see struct
nlm_args and nsm_res). Make nsm_local_state a u32 as well, to ensure
we don't get bogus comparison results.

NLM provides file locking services for NFS files. Part of this service
includes a second protocol, known as NSM, which is a reboot
notification service. NLM uses this service to determine when to
reclaim locks or enter a grace period after a client or server reboots.
The NLM service (implemented by lockd in the Linux kernel) contacts
the local NSM service (implemented by rpc.statd in Linux user space)
via NSM protocol upcalls to register a callback when a particular
remote peer reboots.
To match the callback to the correct remote peer, the NLM service
constructs a cookie that it passes in the request. The NSM service
passes that cookie back to the NLM service when it is notified that
the given remote peer has indeed rebooted.
Currently on Linux, the cookie is the raw 32-bit IPv4 address of the
remote peer. To support IPv6 addresses, which are larger, we could
use all 16 bytes of the cookie to represent a full IPv6 address,
although we still can't represent an IPv6 address with a scope ID in
just 16 bytes.
Instead, to avoid the need for future changes to support additional
address types, we'll use a manufactured value for the cookie, and use
that to find the corresponding nsm_handle struct in the kernel during
the NLMPROC_SM_NOTIFY callback.
This should provide complete support in the kernel's NSM
implementation for IPv6 hosts, while remaining backwards compatible
with older rpc.statd implementations.
Note we also deal with another case where nsm_use_hostnames can change
while there are outstanding notifications, possibly resulting in the
loss of reboot notifications. After this patch, the priv cookie is
always used to lookup rebooted hosts in the kernel.

The nsm_monitor() function reports an error and does not set sm_monitored
if the SM_MON upcall reply has a non-zero result code, but nsm_monitor()
does not return an error to its caller in this case.
Since sm_monitored is not set, the upcall is retried when the next NLM
request invokes nsm_monitor(). However, that may not come for a while.
In the meantime, at least one NLM request will potentially proceed
without the peer being monitored properly.
Have nsm_monitor() return an error if the result code is non-zero.
This will cause all NLM requests to fail immediately if the upcall
completed successfully but rpc.statd returned an error.
This may be inconvenient in some cases (for example if rpc.statd

The "mon_name" argument of the NSMPROC_MON and NSMPROC_UNMON upcalls
is a string that contains the hostname or IP address of the remote peer
to be notified when this host has rebooted. The sm-notify command uses
this identifier to contact the peer when we reboot, so it must be
either a well-qualified DNS hostname or a presentation format IP
address string.
When the "nsm_use_hostnames" sysctl is set to zero, the kernel's NSM
provides a presentation format IP address in the "mon_name" argument.
Otherwise, the "caller_name" argument from NLM requests is used,
which is usually just the DNS hostname of the peer.
To support IPv6 addresses for the mon_name argument, we use the
nsm_handle's address eye-catcher, which already contains an appropriate
presentation format address string. Using the eye-catcher string
obviates the need to use a large buffer on the stack to form the
presentation address string for the upcall.
This patch also addresses a subtle bug.
An NSMPROC_MON request and the subsequent NSMPROC_UNMON request for the
same peer are required to use the same value for the "mon_name"
argument. Otherwise, rpc.statd's NSMPROC_UNMON processing cannot
locate the database entry for that peer and remove it.
If the setting of nsm_use_hostnames is changed between the time the
kernel sends an NSMPROC_MON request and the time it sends the
NSMPROC_UNMON request for the same peer, the "mon_name" argument for
these two requests may not be the same. This is because the value of
"mon_name" is currently chosen at the moment the call is made based on
the setting of nsm_use_hostnames
To ensure both requests pass identical contents in the "mon_name"
argument, we now select which string to use for the argument in the
nsm_monitor() function. A pointer to this string is saved in the
nsm_handle so it can be used for a subsequent NSMPROC_UNMON upcall.
NB: There are other potential problems, such as how nlm_host_rebooted()
might behave if nsm_use_hostnames were changed while hosts are still
being monitored. This patch does not attempt to address those
problems.

The RPC buffer size estimation logic in net/sunrpc/clnt.c always
significantly overestimates the requirements for the buffer size.
A little instrumentation demonstrated that in fact rpc_malloc was never
allocating the buffer from the mempool, but almost always called kmalloc.
To compute the size of the RPC buffer more precisely, split p_bufsiz into
two fields; one for the argument size, and one for the result size.
Then, compute the sum of the exact call and reply header sizes, and split
the RPC buffer precisely between the two. That should keep almost all RPC
buffers within the 2KiB buffer mempool limit.
